I'm sick of all the technology today ... really, everything from facebook to my cell phone, cable tv and the internet ... is there no privacy any more? I cannot drive down the street or enter a building without being under some watchful eye, camera or video ... what is happening, that we need all this? Fear, paranoia?

How do I opt out?

Even the news seems hell bent on spreading this junk ... but it would seem to me that Im not the one who is creating this, it looks like some corporation or government that wants this stuff. Why? Power, money, control?

And now I'm scared to death to even use my cell phone anymore. What's to stop someone bent on more power from using anything I say or do against me or my family?

How do I opt out?

I haven't read that book. But have seen the movie. Is it fact or fiction? Am I nuts?

2-3 days does not seem long enough ... then it's right back to the insanity ... doesn't make sense to me ...

Get you a couple of hundred acres of mountain land with stream access, a big old Tough Shed, maybe a small windmill or a small generator, maybe an ATV so you can work the land, and just hide-out for a while. Here in Colorado there are lots of pretty remote places where land is fairly inexpensive, try the Spanish Peaks area or west of Kremmling, try to stay away from the big ski resorts. Maybe north of Rifle or somewhere near Somerset, even some of the old mining land near Silverton would be good too.

Let us know when you get tired of the place, there may be a few of us that a little time away would work wonders for.

Does 85 remote acres in Northern Arizona count? Also have way more than what you have listed up there. Kinda my safe place. But with all the snow and more coming, it's blocked in right now.

If you have some access to water and power, 85 acres in northern Arizona should be a fine place to getaway. Do you have a snowmobile??? Five feet of snow is an awful lot for a 4WD pickup to get through even on a sunny day.

Maybe there would be something a little closer for these times when you can't get to your place up north???

Water is on a well with a pumpjack. Power from solar, genny's when needed. No snowmobile. And the place is so remote it requires 4wd even during the summer. And we've had almost 8 feet of snow in the last month, another storms rolling in now.

Would love to head out, but our state has closed dozens of lakes and parks permanently. So my escape points are very, very limited ...
